I like the effect, but it's not a true representation of the sky in rural Saskatchewan at 1:00 am. I tried to do something more representative, but it looks like I have about a thousand hot pixels. bill On Mon, May 15, 2023 at 6:15 PM Bill wrote: > > This is my second attempt at doing nighttime landscapes.

Very nice. Your next challenge, as you go off to the darker locales, will be to find another perfect foreground for your stars.

That's quite beautiful. Looking forward to seeing your results from a darker environment. On Mon, May 15, 2023 at 6:15 PM Bill wrote: > > This is my second attempt at doing nighttime landscapes.

Re: PESO: Night Sky (Pentax Content)
Thanks Ann. It's a bit creepy standing around in a dark field wondering if there are coyotes stalking you, but it turned out OK. bill On Mon, May 15, 2023 at 4:20 PM ann sanfedele wrote: > It's lovely!

Re: PESO: Night Sky (Pentax Content)
Thanks Larry. The camera was giving me kittens last night. I've been using the Fuji so much I've forgotten how to run a K1, which is embarrassing. The GPS gave me an OK for calibration, but I suspect I should have done it again. I don't think it was tracking quite right. I wasn't getting the exposure times I thought I should have been getting before I started getting trails. Also, the DFA* 50/1.4 is not an especially good lens for this, as I have read on several night photography forums. One of my goals this year is to get some decent night sky photographs. I did discover a couple of cool features in the K1. Timed bulb exposures up to twenty minutes is supported by the camera, for example. I didn't know about this until I decided I wanted to try shooting night scenes. Also, my location seemed pretty dark, but apparently wasn't. I live pretty close to one of the dark sky places in North America. It's about a 3 hour drive from me. My intention is to hone my skills a bit more and then head out there for a session. thanks again bill On Mon, May 15, 2023 at 4:23 PM Larry Colen wrote: > It’s a pleasant image, I see nothing to be so modest about > > > On May 15, 2023, at 3:15 PM, Bill wrote: > > > > This is my second attempt at doing nighttime landscapes.

This is my second attempt at doing nighttime landscapes. I'm not very good at it yet. Anyway this is a 2 image composite shot using the K1 and DFA* 85/1.5 using the Astrotracer for the sky and time exposure for the foreground.
